It is a bit, the snow is thawing quite quickly due to the rain (though that's stopped now) and the rise in temperature up to 1.6c. Ah well, as you said - part 1 is over. Hopefully a part 2 is coming up next week. Definitely, can't argue with this decade really. Most years we've had a good dumping of snow and many years we've had several. 13 inches of snow this year, 10 inches total last year, ~10-12 inches in 2005-2006 (all cumulative) and few good falls before that too.
